In a story that’s like Stephen King rewriting Nancy Drew, REUNION is about what happens when the good guys grow up.

Advance Praise for Reunion

“I’m a longtime fan of Christopher Farnsworth’s brilliant thrillers. Now I’m equally enthralled by REUNION, an incandescent horror novel where ancient legend meets the American heartland, with characters so real and engaging, I felt like I’ve known them since childhood. Farnsworth’s new novel is dark fantasy at its finest.”

— Elizabeth Hand, author of Hokuloa Road and Generation Loss

“Christopher Farnsworth combines myths old and new into a harrowing, gripping novel where the past and present of a small town's unlikely band of heroes collide, with the fate of the world — and their friendships — in the balance. Fans of Stranger Things, Yellowjackets, and well-told fantasy will love it.”

— Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds and Mr. And Mrs. Witch

“REUNION is a gleeful horror/thriller mashup, about a group of former child heroes vanquishing the foes they thought they'd conquered back in high school. If you're thinking REUNION sounds like a poignant parable for the travails of adulthood, you're not wrong — but it's also hilarious, shocking, and genuinely suspenseful. There is no limit to Christopher Farnsworth's imagination.”

— Ben H. Winters, New York Times bestselling author of Underground Airlines and The Quiet Boy

“Like the Nicolas Cage of high-octane fiction, Christopher Farnsworth is a National Treasure — and REUNION is a classic slice of weird Americana, served like the best apple pie you ever tasted if it was laced with cyanide. You’ll scream, you’ll cry, and then you’ll go back to the home you left behind to face the darkness with your friends beside you. I wish I was reading it for the first time again myself.”

— Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Violent Century and By Force Alone

“With heart-pounding action and sly dialogue, REUNION is a book you’ll be thinking about long after putting it down. I loved it!”

— Brendan Reichs, New York Times bestselling author of Nemesis

“REUNION is the book I've waited for my whole life. When I was a kid, I inhaled all the adventures about young heroes — the Tom Swifts, the Nancy Drews, the kids who discover magic — and desperately wanted to know what happened to them when they grew up. Christopher Farnsworth gives us the answers in this banger of a book about four chosen ones who have to return home to take care of unfinished business. If it was just a witty, thrilling genre mashup, that would have been enough for me, but REUNION is more than that — it's also an affecting story about the pressures of being a child prodigy, the debts owed to family and friends, and the hard work of living the rest of your life. It's frickin’ brilliant.”

— Daryl Gregory, award-winning author of Spoonbenders and Revelator
